Very cool looking fish,,,,somewhat common on a few lakes here, but not all….
I have caught 2 up until now. Those were on seperate occasions a couple of years apart. Seems they are getting more common of the Chick
Caught one yesterday myself. I catch them from time to time here.
Congrats on the Bonus Thumps! I love shooting docks for those Big Ol Hand Kandys!
Strangely I have not seen a small one.

my favorite personally as far as coloration , not much beats an Arkansas Black nosed crappie in the color coolness agenda in the crappie world
congrats and KABOOM
They are some pretty fish
some here have light chocolate colored stripes and some have permanent marker black stripes .
the male fish when they spawn are just eye poppers and, that is a fact :cheers2
Nice catch! Congrats! Hopefully more to come!

I did some reading on them. I also read where the Magnolia crappie was a hybrid using the Black Nose crappie to get a sterile fish for use in ponds. Supposed to grow to some large sizesQuote:

Center Hill….Dale Hollow…JPP…Normandy, is full of them. Couple of years back my late nephew and I were fishing below Center Hill Dam in the Caney Fork….a trout river. We had 30 fish limit that was just shy of 60 pounds. Nothing was under 14 inches and we had a lot of 15-16 inch fish. Both of us fishing UL rods with 2# test line. Many of those fish were hard to turn our way with the gear we were using. Up in the lake it is same way….full of big black nose. I have never caught any in the lake at Nickajack but below the dam….which is technically Guntersville…..black nose are quite prevalent. TN stocks tons of them mostly in deep, clear reservoirs. But in the past few years they have been stocking Old Hickory with them also. I keep up with the TWRA warm water stockings and I don’t recall ever seeing a report on where they do stockings in Chickamauga.

Seem to be a few out there to be caught. I don't catch them very oftenQuote:

Those in the Caney Fork river have in all likelihood come through the spill gates from Center Hill Dam over the years. Pretty neat to catch big black nose and trout in same place.

Hey DSJ,
Do you fish up in Richland Creek?
Thought it looked good when we stay at Bluewater.
I’ve only fished for those green fish the few times we have stayed at Bluewater. I remember boating over to Hiwassee from Bluewater resort.

I have not fished Richland. With winter pool a lot of those areas are some real skinny water. Even at full pool I wouldn't take a boat much past the first aet of bridges. There are bound to be some deep holes along the creek that would be great for wade fishing. During spring rains that creek becomes a roaring white water until all the runoff slows down
Wanna hear something crazy!?!?!
I fish Spring River west of Walnut Ridge in NE Arkansas. It flows into Black River about eight miles from my house. Black River has left oxbow lakes all along it.
I catch quite a few striped crappie in Spring River and virtually none in the oxbows off Black River.
Best I can figure they might like clearer water or cooler water.

Water were I caught these is definitely cooler than the lake it flows into. It is not exactly clear. It may be the clarest water they have access too
I’ve caught them in Ky lake.
Seems they are more plentiful in these parts than I realized
They’re cool fish. Those are bigger than any I’ve caught.
Here are some that came out of the Caney Fork…trout river. If you look closely at the fish I am holding it is scarred up. This was on the day we had 30 black nose that went close to 60 pounds. What was odd was all the fish that day were scarred up. I assumed…and I think I’m right…all of those fish came through the spill gates which had been opened a few days before. They took quite a tumble. Attachment 413588Attachment 413589Attachment 413590The ones on the table are from two different trips and best I remember only 2 out of those 60 fish were not black nose. It is awesome when you get into these things. TWRA has been stocking these for over 35 years…the first few batches were out of Arkansas. Now most are raised at the Normandy fish hatchery.

That would definitely be a wild ride through the gates
I looked at your first post trying to figure out what 2 of a kind meant...just looked like crappie to me lol...I've never caught a white crappie up here in MN, but I know they are in some of the lakes in the state.
The black stripe down the noseQuote:
